This was a U.S. district court ruling in a lawsuit that 26 States brought against President Obama. Here is how USA TODAY described it in a frontpage headline last Wednesday. They said. "Obama Immigration Plan Blocked." Rollcall ran its own headline the same day that said. "Immigration Ruling Casts Shadow on Obamas Legacy." What the court did was to stop the Secretary of Homeland Security from implementing any and all aspects or phases of the Presidents plan. The Federal court said. "It is Congress. and Congress alone. who has power under the Constitution to legislate in the field of immigration." Let me repeat that. "It is Congress. and Congress alone. who has power under the Constitution to legislate in the field of immigration." The judge added that the Presidents plan "clearly represents a substantive change in immigration policy." This is not just a minor change. It is not the same thing that other Presidents have done before. The judge completely rejected the Obama administrations claim that it was simply exercising "prosecutorial discretion." I know the President did not understand the last election.
